These twists are so easy to make and they're a great way to use up leftover nuts. I always have a few bags of nuts in my pantry, so I can make these twists whenever I want.

These twists are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. The lemon flavor is not overpowering and the nuts add a nice crunch.
